We help to create amazing projects!

We started using Cerebro about a year ago. It took a while to get used to it, but in the end I prevailed and now we use the software a lot. We switched to the local version, because we were too dependent on the Internet connection, its speed and so on, and when you are using something a lot, such limitations are difficult to live with. So, it’s been about a year since we’ve started putting all imaginable tasks that need to be done to complete a project in Cerebro.

Cerebro was a great asset when it came to keeping project on track. During the entire three months of production, we worked with our Moscow team and a team in the UK to generate 3-D assets, live shootings with green screen, and take aerial helicopter footage. The challenge was to keep the entire production organized and make sure that all tasks were assigned to the correct people. Cerebro really helped us greatly because we were able to assign tasks, put things on a time line, visually see progress, were able to immediately access production files and provide real-time feedback with effective communication.

We use Cerebro in ScreamSchool for uploading and watching the media files that are made during our course. Our teachers have the opportunity to prepare them in advance, and our students are able to log on to our server, play through all the necessary materials, upload their own work and immediately let their teacher know that everything is ready. This is a maximum of interactivity. To be honest, I’ve never seen anything like this anywhere. Even on SIGGRAPH and other exhibitions decisions were made during video-conferences, but not due to such a two-way interactive process. Emphasizing the opportunity of remote education and keeping interactive is our know-how in a sense.

We used Cerebro to manage the project as there was no other way to cope with such a flow of information, on-set materials and files flying to and from.

Cerebro allows us to effectively distribute human and time resources, plan the production process, track task fulfillment and keep up with the whole project production process. Cerebro has a flexible structure that allows, if necessary, us to add new task types and change old ones. You can easliy see the productivity of each separate employee, using the User Stats option. The Project Stats function allows you to evaluate the level of project completion. A major plus of the program is the opportunity of working with remote users and the opportunity of working out of the office.

It’s rather difficult to overestimate the role of Cerebro in the working process of our studio.The time that supervisors used to spend working with employees has drastically decreased, whereas the effectiveness of their communication has grown, we’re making a lot less corrections in the computer graphics than usual, general work efficiency has also grown, and so has our image in the eyes of clients. The day of each of our employees starts with loading Cerebro, as it is the quickest and most effective way to find out what’s going on in the studio. Cerebro stands out amongst other program products as is an irreplaceable helper of any small or large studio.
